John Galliano may no longer be head designer for Dior, but honestly, they seem to be doing fine without him.

The first fragrance by makeup company Illamasqua, Freak supposedly contains notes derived from plants that are generally avoided. Poison hemlock, for one, belladonna for another. It's like Stevie Nicks in fragrance form - a little weird, a little...freaky. The scent itself, however, is pretty standard. It opens up smelling like a somewhat old-fashioned dry floral with perhaps a dose of patchouli. Later on, what seems like patch manifests itself as oud, the fad note of the year, making the scent a little more interesting.

Entrants who have won a prize from any Minx blogs will be ineligible to win again for a period of sixty (60) days.

Only Entrants who provide valid e-mail addresses will be considered in prize drawings.

Unless otherwise specified, Entrants must be 18 or older and located in the US or Canada only.

The odds of winning are dependent on how many entries are received.

Something I never thought was possible but needs to be mentioned: Entrants are not allowed to win two of the same prize from either Opalescent or a different source. If it is found that the individual chosen as the recipient of a prize has already won the same prize elsewhere, a new winner will be selected. Share the wealth, people!
